His lovely little man is not our recent addition, but a good friends. I was very lucky to get a chance to take some newborn pictures of this handsome guy. I LOVE taking pictures of new babies. It’s possibly my favourite photographic subject (not including my own kids).

Wow, what the heck happened to February! I know it’s a short month and all, but it went by far too quickly! I still haven’t retrieved the skiing pictures from Dan’s phone yet. To be honest, I’m not sure it will ever happen. Actually, in general the photo’s have all but dried up around here. [...]
